            Bug ID: 214709
           Summary: tput in 10,11,12 is unable to set termian colors
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: julian@FreeBSD.org

Tput doesn't do most of the things it's expected to do
leaving  you with no way to set bold or color from a script.

this breaks all scripts that use color for errors coming up from freebsd 8 =
or
earlier, where it worked.

example=20

tput setaf 1

should set the text to red, which it does on freebsd 4,5,6,7 and 8
(I don't have 9)
 and does not work on 10,11,12

tput setaf 1 |od -c shows that it puts out SOME codes and then fails.
